Comprehensive Naturopathic Digestive Health Care
Personalized care for IBS symptoms, SIBO, GERD, abdominal pain, and inflammatory digestive conditions.
We specialize in identifying the underlying causes of your digestive health disturbances. We often see patients whose symptoms have been dismissed, who have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome without determining underlying causes, or who have tried restrictive diets that were unsustainable or not individualized to the patient.
Digestive symptoms often have more than one driver. We use comprehensive digestive and other health testing to determine the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms or diagnoses.
Your care is individualized and may include nutrition and lifestyle recommendations, targeted supplementation, herbal medicine, lab testing, imaging, and referrals when needed.
We commonly support patients experiencing:
- Constipation, diarrhea, or alternating bowel habits
- Gas and bloating
- Suspected SIBO
- Heartburn or GERD
- Abdominal pain and discomfort
- Food intolerances or digestive triggers
- Inflammatory digestive conditions
Digestive Health Care That Looks for Root Causes
Rather than simply managing symptoms, we look for the underlying imbalances that may be contributing to digestive concerns, such as:
- Microbiome imbalances
- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
- Food intolerances and individualized dietary triggers
- Digestive insufficiency
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Stress-related digestive dysfunction
- Inflammation
- Motility concerns
- Structural issues that may require imaging or referral

Conditions We Commonly Support
We work with patients experiencing a wide range of digestive symptoms and diagnoses, including:
Constipation, Diarrhea, and IBS Symptoms
Irritable bowel syndrome is often a diagnosis based on symptoms. We look deeper to identify the underlying imbalances contributing to constipation, diarrhea, urgency, and inconsistent digestion.
Abdominal Gas, Bloating, and Suspected SIBO
Persistent bloating, abdominal pressure, gas, and digestive discomfort may be related to SIBO, food intolerances, gut imbalance, or motility issues.
Heartburn /
GERD
We evaluate the root causes of reflux symptoms, which may include stress, food and lifestyle triggers, bloating, structural factors, or underlying digestive dysfunction.
Abdominal pain and discomfort
Abdominal pain should be evaluated carefully. We assess possible contributing factors using a detailed history, lab testing, and imaging or referral when appropriate.
Inflammatory Digestive Conditions
We support patients with inflammatory digestive concerns using individualized naturopathic care, while coordinating with specialists when needed.
Ready to Better Understand What’s Driving Your Symptoms?
You do not have to keep guessing. If you’re dealing with ongoing bloating, reflux, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, or an IBS diagnosis that never fully explained your symptoms, we can help you take the next step with a more thorough, individualized approach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you treat IBS?
Yes. IBS is often a symptom-based diagnosis, but it does not always explain why symptoms are happening. We take a deeper look at the underlying imbalances contributing to constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and digestive discomfort so treatment can be tailored to you.
Do you review previous labs and GI workups?
Yes. We review prior labs, imaging, and GI evaluations you have already completed and use them to help determine the next best steps in your care.
Can you help with bloating, gas, and suspected SIBO?
Yes. Bloating and gas often have more than one driver. We evaluate possible causes such as SIBO, food intolerances, gut imbalances, and motility issues to better understand what may be contributing to your symptoms.
Can you order imaging and refer to specialists?
Yes. If imaging or specialist care is appropriate, we can order testing and coordinate referrals as needed.
Do you treat GERD or heartburn?
Yes. We look for the underlying causes of GERD, which may include stress, food and lifestyle factors, structural issues, abdominal bloating, or related digestive conditions such as SIBO. Treatment recommendations are based on your symptoms and findings.
Do you help with inflammatory digestive conditions?
Yes. We support patients with inflammatory digestive concerns using individualized naturopathic care and can coordinate with gastroenterology or other specialists when appropriate.
What about abdominal pain or digestive discomfort?
Yes. Abdominal pain should be evaluated carefully. We use a detailed history, appropriate lab testing, and imaging or referrals when needed to help identify potential causes.
